From my experience losing weight is not terribly difficult. I lost ten pounds over the course of one summer (mind you I'm not overweight, I'm at the lower end of the average bmi section), and I'm sure that peple who are overweight would lose weight twice as fast if you follow easy steps that I took.
Like everyone said, eat less. Did you know that you are only supposed to eat a portion of meat during a meal that is equivalent to a deck of cards? That's how little of (meat) you should eat! Vegetables, I say stack them up. No one can get enough of them. You can occasionally squander on ice cream or a pack of chips, but consider the portion of those as well. Don't eat like half a can of Pringles, and don't eat a cup of ice cream.
Second, get into some form of physical exercise. Cutting down on food alone is enough to lose weight, if you do it right, but exercise will make it go down faster. Not to mention make you feel better about your cardiovascular health. Engage in exercise that requires your heartrate to be high for more than 20 minutes, preferably 30 minutes. Jogging, fast walking, whatever. Do it at least three times a week. After that, stretch. Lengthen your muscles, and did I mention that stretching also burns calories? Same goes with weight lifting, which actually does the opposite of lengthening your muscles (that is why stretching is so important).
Jam it back in, in the dark.
